Note on trademarks and proprietary status
This dictionary includes some words which have, or are asserted to have,
proprietary status as trademarks or otherwise. Their inclusion does not
imply that they have acquired for legal purposes a non-proprietary or ge-
neral significance, nor any other judgement concerning their legal status.
In cases where the editorial staff have some evidence that a word has
proprietary status this is indicated in the entry for that word by the label
trademark , but no judgement concerning the legal status of such words is
made or implied thereby.
